Acquisitions	Note 11—Acquisitions 2021 Acquisitions During the first nine months of 2021, the Company completed six acquisitions for approximately $1,531.0, net of cash acquired. Five of the acquisitions have been included in the Interconnect Products and Assemblies segment, while one acquisition has been included in the Cable Products and Solutions segment. The Company is in the process of completing its analyses of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company anticipates that the final assessments of values will not differ materially from the preliminary assessments. The operating results of the 2021 acquisitions have been included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income since their respective dates of acquisition. Pro forma financial information, as well as further details regarding the purchase price allocation related to these acquisitions, has not been presented, since these acquisitions were not material, either individually or in the aggregate, to the Company’s financial results. Acquisition of MTS Systems Corporation On December 9, 2020, Amphenol announced that the Company entered into a definitive agreement under which Amphenol would acquire MTS Systems Corporation (Nasdaq: MTSC) (“MTS”) for $58.50 per share in cash. MTS is a leading global supplier of precision sensors, advanced test systems and motion simulators. MTS was historically organized into two business segments: Sensors (“MTS Sensors”) and Test & Simulation (“MTS T&S”). The MTS Sensors segment represents a highly complementary offering of high-technology, harsh environment sensors sold into diverse end markets and applications. The MTS Sensors business further expands the Company’s range of sensor and sensor-based products across a wide array of industries and is reported as part of our continuing operations and within our Interconnect Products and Assemblies segment. On January 19, 2021 and prior to the closing of the MTS acquisition, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell the MTS T&S business to Illinois Tool Works Inc. (“ITW”) (NYSE: ITW). Refer to Note 12 herein for further details related to the planned divestiture of the MTS T&S business. On April 7, 2021, the Company completed its acquisition of MTS for a purchase price of approximately $1,300, net of cash acquired and including the repayment of certain outstanding debt and liabilities at closing. The MTS acquisition was funded through a combination of borrowings under the U.S. Commercial Paper Program, as discussed in Note 4 herein, and cash and cash equivalents on hand. In addition to the purchase price, the Company also assumed MTS’s then-outstanding $350.0 principal amount of senior notes due August 15, 2027, which the Company repaid and settled shortly after the closing for approximately $387.3, which included accrued interest and a make-whole premium incurred as a result of the early extinguishment of the senior notes. The Company is in the process of completing the acquisition accounting related to MTS, specifically the allocation of the MTS purchase price to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed of MTS based upon their estimated fair values. This preliminary purchase price allocation is being performed separately for the MTS Sensors business and the MTS T&S business, the latter of which is being accounted for as discontinued operations and whose assets acquired, including associated goodwill, and liabilities assumed are reported as current assets held for sale and liabilities held for sale on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. While the Company is in the process of completing its analyses of the fair value of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as part of acquisition accounting, the MTS acquisition resulted in the recognition of $720.4 of goodwill, $54.0 of indefinite-lived tradename intangible assets and $183.4 of definite-lived intangible assets, each associated with the MTS Sensors business. The definite-lived intangible assets are comprised of customer relationships, proprietary technology, and backlog of $128.1, $39.1 and $16.2, respectively, and are amortized based upon the underlying pattern of economic benefit with weighted-average useful lives of 11 years, 15 years and 0.25 years, respectively. Other than these intangible assets, the remainder of the purchase price has been allocated to other identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. As part of acquisition accounting, the Company also recorded $61.0 of deferred tax liabilities associated with certain basis differences, which the Company anticipates recovery for tax purposes by the end of 2021. The excess purchase price over the fair value of the underlying assets acquired (net of liabilities assumed) was allocated to goodwill, which primarily represents the value of assembled workforce and the anticipated cost savings and efficiencies associated with the integration of MTS, along with other intangible assets acquired that do not qualify for separate recognition. The Company does not expect any of the recognized goodwill associated with the acquisition of MTS to be deductible for tax purposes. Since the current purchase price allocation is based on preliminary assessments made by management as of September 30, 2021, the acquisition accounting for MTS is subject to final adjustment and it is possible that the final assessment of values may differ from this preliminary assessment. With the exception of the MTS T&S business, which has been classified and reported as discontinued operations as discussed further in Note 12 herein, the operating results for MTS have been included within continuing operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income since the acquisition date. 2020 Acquisitions During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company completed two acquisitions, which are included in the Interconnect Products and Assemblies segment, for approximately $50, net of cash acquired. The Company has completed the acquisition accounting, including the analyses of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, for both 2020 acquisitions. The final assessments of values did not differ materially from the preliminary assessments. Pro forma financial information, as well as further details regarding the purchase price allocation related to these acquisitions, has not been presented, since these acquisitions were not material, either individually or in the aggregate, to the Company’s financial results. Acquisition-related Expenses During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company incurred $55.4 ($44.6 after-tax) of acquisition-related expenses, primarily comprised of transaction, severance, restructuring and certain non-cash costs related to the MTS acquisition. Such acquisition-related expenses are separately presented in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
